The Chargers are the most complete team in football

It’s going on Week 16 of the season. You should have a pretty good idea about who is who by now. In the NFC, the Rams and Saints are trending the wrong way. They started off the season high flying, and as of late, they’ve struggled to put points on the board. The Cowboys were hot, but they saw what life is like in the AFC as they got shutout by the Colts. The Bears are very good and very well coached, but it’s tough to trust their QB.

Speaking of AFC, there are some sizzling hot teams. The Texans look like a tough out. The Steelers are jekyll and hyde but at home they are tough. The Patriots are the Patriots. The Chiefs still have no issue putting points on the board. They just can’t seem to stop anyone. Who does that leave? You guessed it. The Chargers. Clicking on all cylinders and getting healthy at the right time. That doesn’t even sound like a formidable sentence involving the Chargers, but here we are.

Adam Schein of NFL Network believes the Bolts are the most complete team in football. You can make arguments for a few other squads, but you’ll likely always end up back with the Chargers. In his “fact or fiction”, here’s what Schein said:

This is absolutely true. And we all saw the best proof yet last Thursday night, in Los Angeles’ pulsating comeback win over the Chiefs in Arrowhead. The Chargers (11-3) can win any style of fight — anywhere. That last bit is crucial, especially if L.A. doesn’t end up with home-field advantage in the playoffs. The Bolts are 6-1 on the road. In just the past three weeks, they’ve erased major second-half deficits to win at Pittsburgh and Kansas City

Being able to win any style is key. The Chargers have beaten the best teams on the road. He doesn’t even mention Seattle, which is one of the toughest places to play.
